9:40 p.m. – An Exchange Street resident reported receiving numerous calls from an unidentified person, beginning on Aug. 24. The calls weren’t threatening but were annoying, she said.

The man said he now realized he had the wrong number and would not call that number again.

Police noticed the car smelled of marijuana. The driver told police it was possible Aptt had some marijuana. Police found a bag of what later tested to be marijuana in the console. Routine checks turned up the warrant against Aptt. He was processed at the station, charged with marijuana possession, then taken to the ACI.

4:56 p.m. – Someone reported there was an unconscious woman in a car parked outside of East Greenwich Farms on Main Street. Police went to the car, which was off, and talked to the occupant.
